Welcome to the Community Radar, or as we also call it: #COMRAD. We're here to showcase another batch of incredible community content that was shared recently. Check it out!

COM-ART

We've seen a fair amount of Arma 3 artwork created and made with the use of in-game artwork. Like this wonderful setup, created by Fascrot, using the recognizable portrait of Lars Blanken, founder of fictional NGO IDAP. You can learn a lot about Lars in our Laws of War DLC, but this is a splendid little arrangement in this photo.

While pictured using indirect fire, this screenshot really hits the mark on the incredible action of soldiers firing off mortars. Shared to us by AbueloCeboleta, we hope he continues to deliver spot-on work like this with their honed-in skills.

Sun or stars, you still have to watch your sector. A wonderful shot of units contrasted by the evening sun. Thanks to JonoTheCutest for another fantastic creation!

Made by Grk, catch this smoking awesome screenshot of troops dealing with enemy armor in the streets of Zargabad. You can feel the relief from this well-aimed shot. We're sure many of us can relate to that close-call situation before.

This soaring screenshot by Scarecrow1625 depicts a pair of F-4 Phantoms flying in formation over the beautiful Cam Lao Nam terrain of Arma 3 Creator DLC: S.O.G. Prairie Fire. Hopefully, these two aircraft are on route to provide close air support to a compromised MACV-SOG team "across the fence!"

With the landing craft ramps down and a hail of incoming fire, this harrowing image by Armography depicts members of the 2nd Ranger Battalion landing at Omaha Beach during the morning of June 6th, 1944. The contribution of the 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalions, especially at Point du Hoc, helped secure a beachhead for the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France. A truly remarkable recreation!

With purple signal smoke popped, this photo by G4nDalf has US Special Forces members awaiting pickup by an MH-60 Blackhawk in an undisclosed location! The sun is setting, marking the end of another successful operation.

Created by community Veteran thebuckfastwine, this artwork shows 1980s CLSA Forces disembarking from a number of vehicles, having just captured a compound in Gabreta from American Forces. This is a great showcase of the assets and terrain featured in Arma 3 Creator DLC: CSLA Iron Curtain!
